CustomerMALCOLM from SUMMERVILLE SC

Broken drive belt

Removed the top, front and lower rear section of the dryer. This being my first experience replacing a dryer belt I naturally missed the tensioner pulley first try, then installed the belt on the wrong side of the pulley and found I didn't have enough tension. After some thought and a long hard look I realized my mistake and the third time was the charm. Next time I need to replace a dryer belt it should be a snap and go a lot faster.

CustomerAlan from Waterloo IL

Dryer was making thumping noise (like when a pair of sneaker is being dried)

Started with removal of rear inspection plate on rear of drier,rotated drier drum by hand to look for any visible problems. Found that drive belt with age had lost sections of teeth and every time the bad sections would go past motor they would "thump".1. Removed belt from tensioner. Done simply by moving tensioner to unload belt.2. Slipped belt off motor drive and moved belt to front of drum.3. Opened drier door and removed 4 screws from under the lid or top of drier ,raised lid for access to belt once belt had been slid to front of drum.4. (steps 4 and 5 are the hardest parts)Worked drive belt between drum and felt insulators keep in mind there are many stamped steel pieces and sharp edges can be present.5. Removed belt by feeding a small section past felt and drum and worked rest out from frt. top of drier.6. Installed new belt in reverse order as removal. This was done without aid of instruction manual and by someone having major back surgery 4 months earlier. No idea how much this saved me but the price of the belt and time and effort involved made it woth my while I'm sure.

Belt broke, drum wouldn't turn.

Pulled the top of dryer off. Separated the door from the drum seal or gasket, slipped the belt through, put the drive belt on the motor and then put it all back together.

Belt broke

Removed Front of Machine, removed access panel on back of machine, reassembled after installing belt and cleaning out machine. Pretty Easy, hardest part is getting around the front of the drum.This machine has been going since 1978. 31 years, 2nd replacement belt and thats all, not bad, the washer that was bought at the same time went around 6 years ago, havent had the same luck, since then, two machines and the latest one is giving me problems already. They dont make them like they used to.

Washer would not agitate. Dryer would not run.

The washer and dryer went bad in the same week. First I checked the web site for potential problems and confirmed what was wrong with each appliance.

The parts arrived in 3-4 days.

It took less than 10 minutes to replace the agitator directional cogs in the washer and it is working fine. This was an easy fix.

I also installed a new drive belt on the dryer. That took about an hour and it is fine too. This was a bit harder because I had to remove the top and front of the dryer to remove the drum to replace the belt. This is a two person job - my 18 yr old & I.

Less than $30 for parts and shipping, and I saved $1,200 + on new appliances.
